tached 10 the denial According TO the published
report N. FlourenS said Il entered Office with the
ful conviction that the key 10 the European policy
was in ST. Petersburg. While Russia is with us
war with Germany is impossible Germany, by
the chance OIL her states diSunitlng, would suffer
more than any other power by defeat: therefore
Sne mas no course but to live on good terms with
Russia and with us. Russia came forward for us
In moment OF danger, and we will not remain
with folded arms should she be endangered"
VI. FlourenS profeSSed that he had little fear OF
the new alliance OF Italy, Austria and Germany.
Italy Oelng mainly naval power. Germany aud
Austria could give her nothing, and she would
